I'm having trouble getting mail to work on my IBM RT.
I get an error from sendmail, below.

	Original /usr/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf: line 136: Cannot open fileclass file "/local/lib/vnet.directry": No such file or directory

This is odd, because my sendmail.cf file doesn't even
mention vnet anymore.  Can someone tell me what's up?
I don't want to do anything with vnet - where's this
original copy of sendmail.cf kept, and how do I get
rid of it?

Thanks a lot,
-Hugo

Well, (1) I'll guess you're using AIX, and (2) I'll guess that AIX sendmail
is reasonably similar to BSD sendmail.

Rebuild the hashed version of the sendmail.cf file.  This is officially
referred to as the 'configuration freeze' file, I believe, and the command
to rebuild it with BSD sendmail is:

/usr/lib/sendmail -bz

But I'd check your manual entry first.  I've been wrong before.  ;-)  Flames
to /dev/null.
